Flames could IMO easily get a first from NJD if they took Vanacek back in the deal.
He has one more year left at $3.5m cap hit.
Since the Devils are on the bubble I imagine they would lottery protect the first for 2024.
You could still ease Wolf along and continue giving the net to all three goalies, and maybe Vanacek rebounds with a change of scenery and you can get another asset for him (or Vladar) in the off season.
